Vote Kick Almost Useless

[Noahlimits]

I'm saying this due to FC members having this issue.

The situation:

-They're in CT and get a tank who will just follow them and AFK waiting for treasure
-They vote kick the tank
-They attempt to replace the tank
-The SAME tank comes back, replacing himself (since kicking someone gives 0 wait timer)
-They're stuck with the AFK tank that they can't report (since it's not against TOS to be AFK according to GMs)


They really need to fix this. At least give a 15 minute penalty if you're booted. This will likely happen with any class that has fast / near instant cues (healer, tank).

Yes this needs to be fixed !

Or at least somehow tag a party so that the tank can't rejoin the one that just kicked him, so you don't end up waiting 15 minutes for him to show up again... o.o

Anything would be better than the current behavior.

I agree was doing WP and the healer was being a jerk to the tank, so we vote kicked him only to get him again lol.

That's ridiculous. You should get a debuff timer of like 1 hour if you are kicked. Leaving a dungeon is already 30 minutes, so if you get kicked it's only logical you were being an ass in some way. As such, a longer penalty should be only logical.

Oh yes, I'd love to get hit with an hour of downtime because I wanted to watch the cutscenes and someone was too impatient to wait 5 seconds. Wonderful idea, Insidious. Truly, you are a visionary.

Then what do you suggest or have to offer that doesn't involve being snide or rude?

Or you are being trolled by a pre-made group of three, or their friend is now available to play with them so out you go. The possibility of such is which is why I suspect there's no timer in place. It's not possible to prevent these situations, but adding a flag so you can't get the same party when re-registering would work with all scenarios..

I like this idea the best. Just a flag that prevents you from re-entering the same members is brilliant.

Not true.

Someone came to my front door, and before i could even type AFK/BRB the DPS pulled, and killed everyone, sure enough they complained i should have tanked. (When i needed to hurry to the door before they leave)

Sure enough, they wouldnt have anything to do with it, so they started fighting. We vote kicked them, and sure enough the other DPS started fighting as well, but the healer had to go, and was replaced. The new healer, not knowing the situation, decided to join him in vote kicking me. (being in the middle of the argument, and not having heard what started the fight.)

So, my crime was having to answer the front door, and his was starting fights because they caused a wipe.

Vote kick gets abused enough as it is. There's no reason to extend it past 30mins.

Kicking someone for that reason is griefing and reportable. They'll likely be suspended, so there's that.

Though it says punishable, its never actually caused anyone to be punished.

Someone from another LS i know abuses it before the last boss (refusing to add members) to get drops.
They never got suspended yet. (Even ppl in his LS report him.)
